What animal sheds?

Many animals shed! Here's a breakdown:

Mammals:

* Fur: Most mammals shed their fur to adapt to seasonal changes in temperature. Examples include dogs, cats, rabbits, squirrels, and bears.

* Skin: All mammals shed dead skin cells, though we often don't notice it as much as fur shedding.

* Antlers: Deer, elk, and moose shed their antlers annually.

Reptiles:

* Skin: Reptiles shed their skin in a process called molting. This is how they grow and get rid of parasites. Examples include snakes, lizards, and turtles.

Birds:

* Feathers: Birds shed their feathers regularly to maintain flight and insulation. This process is called molting.

Amphibians:

* Skin: Amphibians shed their skin as they grow.

Fish:

* Scales: Some fish shed their scales as they grow or to get rid of parasites.

Insects:

* Exoskeletons: Insects have exoskeletons that they must shed to grow. This process is called molting or ecdysis.

Other Animals:

* Spiders: Spiders shed their exoskeletons as they grow.

* Crabs: Crabs shed their exoskeletons as they grow.
